Folks,

 

I was the first Manger of the C.E. Shull Computing Center at Bridgewater College in Bridgewater VA. Part of my responsibilities was to teach a FORTRAN class.  I used this book for it.

 

Memories!!!

Really?  I learned IBM 1130 assembly language from this book.  I also taught FORTRAN, but it was for business students ... seemed an odd choice even back then, but we didn't have a COBOL compiler available.

I really liked Bork's book; that's why I kept it all these years.

Best Regards, Peter

My first teaching experience was Fortran to business students (at the
NYU Graduate School of Business Administration); it was an informal
course and I didn't use a book at all.

Yeah, it was before the COBOL compiler for the 1130 came out.

An amusing coincidence: one of my lectures was about the internal
representation of floating point, explaining the reason roundoff
errors occur. Just yesterday I encountered a bug where a float (not
double) had been used to do a timestamp conversion and of course lost
precision because the fraction is only 24 bits!

Yay!  One of my favorite books, but it was time for me to let it go.

We shipped it this morning.
